Had my first matchup with a respectable car today...had a guy in a 350z flex on me so we got into it on the freeway...i pulled on him all the way through third fourth and fifth all the way to about 115 before he let off...nice....so fun....

about to convert back to the stock fuel pumps as they werent the issue afterall...the retrofitted late pump is having starvation issues...been daily driving the car 60+ miles a day...runs amazing...

Just bought an M3 rear sway bar to go with my Cabrio front sway bar (biggest factory bar combo you can get)...hopefully putting that on this weekend
